What Is the Skoda Kushaq Classic Plus?
The Skoda Kushaq Classic Plus is the entry variant of the Skoda Kushaq compact SUV, offered with a 1.0 TSI turbo-petrol engine and a choice of 6-speed manual or 8-speed torque converter automatic, starting at Rs. 10.69 lakh ex-showroom.
Skoda India's Kushaq range lists five trims: Classic Plus, Signature, Sportline, Prestige and Monte Carlo. The Classic Plus is listed first, with the 1.0 TSI in both manual and automatic form.
What Is the Kushaq Classic Plus Price?
Skoda India lists the Kushaq from Rs. 10.69 lakh. ZigWheels, which lists variant prices as ex-showroom for Delhi, shows the Classic Plus 1.0 TSI manual at Rs. 10.69 lakh and the automatic at Rs. 13.04 lakh as of 29 October 2026, a gap of Rs. 2.35 lakh. It lists the next trim, the Signature manual, at Rs. 14.69 lakh.
Ex-showroom is not what you pay. The on-road price in Kerala adds local road tax, insurance, and handling charges, and our guide on what's included in a Skoda on-road price in Kerala explains each part. We have not quoted a Kochi on-road figure, because it depends on your variant and insurance.
What Features Does the Classic Plus Get?
Skoda India lists these features as standard across the Kushaq range, which includes the Classic Plus:
Six airbags on every variant
Alloy wheels on every variant
An electric sunroof across the range
25 active and passive safety features as standard
A rear wiper and defogger across all variants
The same page describes a 25.6 cm infotainment screen with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay and a 26.03 cm digital cockpit with turn-by-turn navigation for the Kushaq. It does not say which trims get each, so confirm both on the Classic Plus before you decide.
Tip: Use Skoda India's range-wide list as your baseline, then ask for the Classic Plus feature sheet to see what the higher trims add.
Manual or Automatic: What Engine and Gearbox Does It Offer?
Skoda India lists the 1.0 TSI with 85 kW in two forms for the Classic Plus:
A 6-speed manual, offered on Classic Plus, Signature, Sportline and Prestige.
An 8-speed torque converter automatic, offered on Classic Plus, Signature, Sportline, Prestige and Monte Carlo.
The 1.5 TSI with a 7-speed DSG is offered only on Sportline, Prestige and Monte Carlo, so it is not available on the Classic Plus. ZigWheels lists ARAI-claimed mileage of 19.76 kmpl for the Kushaq petrol manual and 19.09 kmpl for the automatic, so confirm the certified figure for your variant. Real mileage depends on traffic and driving.
Which Colours Does the Kushaq Come In?
Skoda India lists eight colours for the Kushaq:
Carbon Steel
Lava Blue
Deep Black
Candy White
Brilliant Silver
Cherry Red
Shimla Green
Steel Grey
Skoda India's page does not state which colours are offered on the Classic Plus, so confirm your preferred colour against the variant. ZigWheels also lists eight colours for the Classic Plus automatic page, but availability can change, so rely on the dealer's written confirmation.
How Safe Is the Classic Plus?
Skoda India describes the Kushaq as carrying a 5-star Global NCAP safety rating, with six airbags standard on every variant and 25 safety features standard across the range. This rating comes from Global NCAP's testing programme, so compare it only with other Global NCAP results, not with ratings from other programmes.
A safety rating is a laboratory result, not a guarantee. Check which variant was tested and which safety features your variant carries.
What Does Skoda Super Care Include?
Skoda India's Kushaq page lists the Skoda Super Care package as:
4 years or 100,000 km of standard warranty coverage
4 labour-free services in the first two years
4 years of 24x7 pan-India roadside assistance
Free labour covers labour only, so parts and consumables are normally billed separately.
Why It Matters for Kerala Buyers
For Kerala buyers, the entry variant's value shows up in daily use. An automatic option reduces effort in Kochi's stop-and-go traffic; an electric sunroof and six airbags on every variant mean a lower trim does not mean a bare car; and four years of roadside assistance matters on hill routes and monsoon roads.
